Mission 782
The Mission 782 Compact Tower offers high definition, monitor class loudspeaker in a graceful and
visually attractive package. The Mission 782 is an exquisite piece of furniture for the serious audiophile.
Behind the beauty of the superbly styled and crafted cabinetry lies the result of much skilful and creative
engineering. The design solutions employed within the 782 are novel, while the manufacturing techniques
are among the most advanced in the world. The overall result is a speaker system with unrivalled
performance capabilities for its size.

Third generation transverse-folded cabinet technology (TFCT), made possible by Mission's hightech precision CNC manufacturing capability, provides new levels of enclosure integrity and
rigidity.

The standard of precision and finish in the 782 cabinets, found only in some exotic designs of an
order of magnitude greater cost, exemplifies the attention to detail and Missions commitment to
total quality concept.

Internal precision-machined contours restrain resonance energy, so minimising coloration smear.

Inter-channel foam damping further reduces cavity resonance. The contours subdivide the cabinets
side panels into irregular, non-rectangular forms. This prompts a series of complex vibration
modes which spreads resonance over a lower amplitude, wider frequency range reducing the
cabinets sonic signature.

The unique implementation of Keraform ceramic matrix MF drivers is a Mission first. Unlike the
so-called ceramic hardening applied to aluminium cones, Keraform is a true ceramic material
impregnated into a fibre matrix and then oven cured. Having a greater stiffness to mass ratio than
any previous drive unit material, performance parameters for midrange performance, transient
attack, and detail resolution are exceptional, and set new standards at this price point.

The multi-driver three way operation of the 782 exploits the highly desired, laterally coherent
dispersion characteristic of small radiating area through mid and high frequencies for superb stereo
localisation, with powerful bass output provided by a side-firing 165mm (6") low frequency unit.
The latter is close-coupled to the floor ensuring good room matching together with extension to
44Hz for authoritative bass rendition.

Side facing bass drivers are mirror imaged between the pair of cabinets to improve versatility in
placement. In a small room where the speakers may be close to side walls the cabinets can be
positioned with the bass drivers facing inwards for solid, weighty bass performance. In the larger
rooms the bass drivers can be configured to face outwards increasing the size and scale of the
stereo image and achieving optimum low frequency extension. The port tube exit is both flared and
foam lined to reduce the effects of turbulence and its corresponding distortion of upper bass
signals.

The viscous-laminated HF dome offers exceptionally smooth high frequency performance with
superior off-axis response. The ferro-fluid voice coil design is optimised to provide minimal
compression at high volume levels with an ultra-fast transient response. A tapered inverse horn
loading on the front baffle creates a smooth transition between mid and high frequency output to
ensure a wide listening position and superb imaging.

The unique D2IS (Damped Driver Isolation System) reduces the effects of front baffle vibrations on
the HF units output. A low profile neodymium magnet enables the treble unit housing to be fully
contained within the front baffle, mounted in a resiliently damped, compliant cradle. This increases
the internal volume available to the bass unit and, by effectively decoupling the treble and bass
units, eliminates virtually all unwanted mechanical interaction between them. The improvement in
clarity and definition particularly in the vital cross-over region is considerable.

Inverted drive unit geometry (IDG), optimises vertical dispersion characteristics and ensures
smooth phase and frequency response around the crossover transition.
